People have been talking about this for a year, but this is the U.S. MSM finally acknowledging if.
A “Cheap” US Military FPV Drone starts at around $250,000.
A Cheap Russian FPV Drone is about $75.
By legislation, US Drones are very limited by the frequencies they can use, so those small radio bands can be easily jammed.
“We” are resorting to using MAViC and other Chinese manufactured drones because we don’t make anything like them in America, outside of hobbyists. The Russians can easily get the codes and frequencies to bring them down.
The Russians are using small pickup truck or even tank mounted jamming systems to bring down or knock our small drones off course, while we are using big and very expensive “Do-Everything” complexes that are much easier to find and destroy.
